Bears, you brought it!  Congrats.

With this rain, any chance this game being played in Jasper. 

It's taken me a while to get into this season, to be honest, but here I am. It's harder to listen to/watch the games than it ever has been. You guys in Orange have professional, seasoned broadcasters and we don't. I'll leave it at that. 
Anyway, Dirty is all over it. We're very young and the offense is different (we run out of the spread), so losing games early wasn't good for us. There's a ton of speed everywhere as usual and the defense looked pretty solid in the games we played against PN-G and H-J. 
I think this will be a close game that could be decided by the kicking game, but I'll take Jasper 27-23. 

Jasper has one of "youngest" teams that we fielded in quite some time. while I think they will come into their own as time goes on.  A game and a half under the Friday night lights going into the 5th game of the season is not the ideal situation for getting kinks worked. Coach usually does a good job getting kids put in position that best suites them, he just having to go it at an accelerated pace.
Defensively the DAWGS are ahead of the offense thus far I think. We have 2 or 3 sophomore players on defense that are gonna be alot of fun to watch as they grow and mature playing at the Varsity level.  On offense no we don't have a Carl Limbrick but we have some young men that have some fast turning wheels.  you will see Jasper throw the ball more than you have in a long  time.
for me personally I have taken a liking to #6 (Cuney) on offense. 
While Vidor thus far is having a great season(I wish them continued success as it goes on) and the fact those young men are usually well coached and play with all out effort.  the Pirates are gonna be a handful to say the least. Granted HJ is not as good as Vidor I think. they do run similar type offense so the timing of this game with it still fresh on Jasper’s mind hopefully works out.
the one thing I can/will guarantee come Friday night is that I will be there in Vidor supporting them DAWGS.

Jasper by 4

Absolutely, Clay is the Man!  Yes, at Jasper I don't know if he cut those returning starter players; or they left rather than meet his tough standards.  And yes, he still won the district!  I grieved when he left Jasper.

Game 3, Jasper wins 5-2
Congrats Bi-District Champs!

Jasper 3  Rusk 0  Final

Jasper 10  Carthage 5  Final

End of two innings, Jasper leading 3-1

I first met Stan when Clay was at Jasper. Jasper had just came down to 3A and entered Huntington’ district. It became a quick rivalry with within the first two years as the four games produced eleven overtime’s. Stan always jokingly referred to the Huntington police as the gestapo. Lol.   He  would often text laughable things to my phone.
We will miss him. The board won’t be the same.  Thoughts and prayers to his family. 

Nice season coach!!!  Tough way to end...

We overcame COVID, hurricanes, and ice storms this year but came up short tonight against Waco Robinson.  58-50.   Proud of these seniors and what they accomplished this year  - Co-District Camps and a 17-6 record. 

Local schools...
5a- #16 Beaumont United (way too low!!!  Should  e a top 5 team easily... do t let the lack of games fool ya 5a!!)
4a- #1 HJ, #7 Lumberton, #14 Jasper, #25 Silsbee
(great showing for our area!!!)
3A- #9 Woodville
 
All these rankings mean nothing right now... especially when one positive covid test at the wrong time could wreck a season... However... its nice to see our area recognized for some great teams locally!

Very impressive couple of victories for a group of ladies that had to stay on the sideline for a while!

I don't know who you think you are, but we don't have any room to talk sh*t about anybody right now. We don't act like clowns on this forum. Understand?

After watching the film on this game, I think I figured out what Center's problem was in this game. It was that Jasper team. If not for them, Center would have easily won this game. lol.

IMO, Jasper lost to Carthage by that much because.  1.  Turnovers.  2.  Turnovers.  3.  Turnovers.  You cannot give the ball away that many times and expect to win.  Or even keep the game close.  But actually, the margin was even worse than the score indicated.  As I remember, Jasper scored a late TD against the Carthage reserves.  If Carthage had kept the starters in to the end, I shudder to think what the score might have been.  Jasper played a much more disciplined game against Center.  At least I think so.  Center has the ingredients to go a long way in the playoffs.  Not every team is going to have the resources to stop your RB that Jasper had.  I wish Center the best of luck.  

Y'all say what you think you need to say about #32 Keamodre (Red) Horace, but he's one hell of a RB. The young man has earned almost 1700 yds before this game and it wasn't because he had the best offensive line to get behind. He earned those hard yds with his talent, his strength, his speed, his mobility, his endurance, and his love for the game. Jasper definitely had a good game plan to keep him in check. It was obvious from the start the Bulldogs were beam lining on him. Which every team should when facing another teams main weapon. But the young man deserves some respect from which he has accomplished, basically on his own. 

Nice win Jasper. I didn’t think this game would be close. Saw some other people posting that this would be a close game. I never saw it. I thought Jasper was a much better team. It showed tonight. Center is a pretty good team, but Jasper is one of the top 5 teams in 4a DII. 

My gut told me that Jasper had not been showing all their stuff.  Time to unwrap the rest of it now!

Carthage fans say they’re a second half team.  Seems like Jasper does pretty good in the second too.  

But on recruiting, I understand not a single Southwest Conference team made him an offer.  Reportedly, the first SW conference team he got to play while at Lamar:. University of Houston.  Result: 14 unassisted tackles.  You think there was not some buyer's remorse?

Vidor, you played tuff!!!  Good luck on District, and the playoffs.
